Alexander: This is where the Dodgers and Angels face the grind

LOS ANGELES – It’s fair, I suppose, to wonder if both of the teams on the field Saturday night in The Ravine might be experiencing their own versions of the dog days.
It’s late June, not even halfway to 162, and the grind might seem to the young Angels like it will never end. They’re 30-46, 13 games out of first place and 11 in arrears of a wild card spot, after Saturday night’s 7-2 loss to the Dodgers. And by now we – and they – know for sure what was n

He’s been there ever since, adorning the second door on the left, arms crossed, bold, brash and brave ready to take on the world, history and conventional wisdom be damned. He is on all four walls of the back bedroom he sha
